I really do worry people have forgotten what Covid-19 was like for NHS staff. I went onto ICU wards and saw it myself. I spoke to staff broken by relentless death.
@Kevin_Fong testimony @covidinquiryuk needs to be heard:

Some things I’ve learnt over the last few days as an inpatient that I will use in my clinical practise - staff work hard and are trying their best, that a smile to a patient makes all the difference, to flush cannulas gently because it can sting at the start, that being told you’ve got to have an operation and biopsy that day you come in thinking it’s a quick review and then home when all you’ve got with you is your school bag and no family with you is scary and lonely, that being told news is scary, that coming out of general anaesthetic can make you a bit weird - I was very chatty and a bit grumpy, that going into theatre on a trolley is terrifying and you hand over your life to someone else’s care and that the ones that look after you when kind and patient to you are the best people in the world - they can really make a patient feel like the most important person in their clinical world in that moment. I’ve learnt more about medicine as a patient myself than I have in all my years as a doctor. #humbling

As I began to talk about my experience of burnout & mental illness as a doctor,
Others started sharing their stories too.
I'd never been alone after all.
This article is my way of saying
You aren't alone either.

"Never-words" are the same in every language and culture. This is a particularly useful for us, young oncologists, on patient/family-physician communication!
@ErulEnes @coskunyazgann @Erman_Akkus @SerhatSekmek
My friends and I think a lot about what language to use with seriously ill patients and how it impacts healing. Sometimes we write about it for @MayoProceedings ❤️🩹@ProfLenBerry @gfgrafton

Look out for a new @stemlyns podcast released tomorrow about hybrid closed loop insulin pumps and how patients using them might present to the ED. New technology that we all need to understand.

‘It is wild to me that 80% for us is 100% for everyone else.’
A recognition that our training design is based on young, white, male with no caring requirements. This is not the reality for a majority anymore.
@scotgasdoc really representing the trainee voice.

Really important point. Would add that you don't have to have cardiovascular risk factors to have a stroke - young, fit people have strokes too.

"Studies of how quickly doctors interrupt patients find that the median time is 11 seconds. Nobody feels listened to in 11 seconds."
